The 2015 2. deild karla (English: Men's Second Division) was the 50th season of third-tier football in Iceland. Twelve teams contest the league. Play began on 9 May and concluded on 19 September. [1]

Football is the most popular sport in Iceland. Iceland hosted the U-18 European Championship in 1997, but an Icelandic national team has qualified for the final competition of a major tournament only four times—twice by the women's national team at UEFA Women's Euro in 2009 and 2013, and twice by the men's team at UEFA Euro 2016 and the 2018 FIFA World Cup. The only Iceland teams to advance past the group stage at a major tournament are the women in 2013 and the men in 2016.
